![]() ![]() ![]() Our findings can help to promote child health during lockdown. Economic issues were an important concern in families with lower socio-economic status. Routine and positive parental attitude supported children's well-being. We conclude that lockdown affected emotional state and lifestyle of children and parents, which were strongly related. Sleep changes were inversely associated with keeping a routine and having a balcony/garden ( r = −0.53 and −0.16). Adverse children's emotional state was associated with parental feeling of loneliness ( r = 0.35) and inversely associated with keeping a routine ( r = −0.11). Parent and children concern about food/essential items were highly associated. Families with lower socio-economic status were more worried about health, shortage of food and household income ( p < 0.01). According to parents, 69.5% of the children showed changes in their emotional state, 55.3% altered their routine and 62.6% showed sleep disorders. In total, 814 parents with children between 4 and 11 were included in the study. Logistic regression and correlation analysis were used to establish associations between variables. Parents completed an online survey including data about socio-demographic information, parent and child feelings and lifestyle during lockdown. The aims of this study were to examine the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on emotional state, feelings and lifestyle of children and their parents, to explore the association between parental characteristics and child well-being and to examine whether the impact of lockdown depends on socio-economic status. The implications of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) lockdown measurements and social isolation in children and their parents are still unknown. ![]() 3Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Buenos Aires, Argentina.2Centro de Matemática La Plata, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina.1Instituto de Desarrollo e Investigaciones Pediátricas, Hospital de Niños de La Plata - Comisión de Investigaciones Científicas-Provincia de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina.María Victoria Fasano 1,2, Marcela Padula 1, María Ángeles Azrak 1, Ana Julia Avico 1, Marisa Sala 1 and María F. ![]()
